About GVI

GVI is a non-political, non-religious organisation, which through its alliance with over 150 project partners in over 30 countries, provides opportunities for volunteers to fill a critical void in the fields of environmental research, conservation, education and community development.

KEEP (Kakamega Environmental Education Project) is an association from Kakamega that works for the conservation of the last little piece of Guinean tropical rainforest that remains in Kenya. KEEP has a long history of projects varying from the establishment of a butterfly farm and tree nurseries to assisting in biodiversity monitoring and primate research.

We have been developing a successful working relationship and partnership with them, which we hope will last for long and will be the beginning of a long track of successes. So far, some of our interns have been placed there, and both parts are very happy with the result.

Although the pages, for now, are rather empty, this website could become a great library of information for KEEP members, partner organizations but also researcher and tourists interested in the area and all the activities and groups supported by KEEP.

The community butterfly project is a integral part of the environmental education and conservation strategy.
